Helmholtz Brussels Event: The Glory of Prevention – Keeping Europeans Healthy in Times of Change

Wednesday 11 Oct 2023, 17:30 → 21:30 Europe/Berlin

- (Thon Hotel EU)

Today, we still focus on “repair medicine”. But we know that prevention – for many reasons – is better than curing. What can we do to keep Europeans healthy? How does research in this field work – and how does it differ from research on diagnostics and treatments? 

Helmholtz addresses key challenges in health and prevention is a priority:

How can we establish the basis for preventive medicine – and how do we translate our knowledge from the lab into clinical practice? 

Together with experts from different fields, we will discuss and showcase how researchers, policymakers, and communicators combine their skills to promote health. Innovative examples from lung health, cancer, and neurology (incl. Alzheimer and ALS) will underline the potential of (personalized) prevention in Europe.

We are sure you have many additional questions in mind. We will literally make room for that and you are welcome to ask our experts yourself!
